For Squirrels

90s alternative rock band that was on the cusp of success. Singer and bassist died in a car crash on their way home from their first major tour. Largely forgotten now. Ironically the song they're best known for is a tribute to Kurt Cobain. The lyrics are haunting as fuck given the context.

... And All The Could Have Been.

Wasnt there some indie band that died in a car crash when going on tour, they were not that well known but it happend last year I think

>>73319696
Seems to be a common trend for unknown bands sadly.

>>73319696
Palma Violets? They all died in a car crash in Sweden, though that was a few years ago if I recall.

Taylor Mitchell was mauled to death by coyotes.
That rarely ever happens to humans. Actually, almost never.

A sad story is Syd Barrett's life story. (Original singer for pink floyd) He lost his fucking mind and it destroyed his friends.

Anet Mook from the band Cay died kind of mysteriously. Her former bandmates released a really vague press release saying she died from being hit by "a bus or train," never specifying which one.
Also, the guitarist blatantly said he never liked her in the release.

The whole situation is fishy and fucked.

very, very little has ever been known about anet, though. nobody knows when or where she was born, or if "anet mook" was even her real name.

Anyone familiar with Haji's Kitchen?

Katrina Vasquez of the band Pumalin. Died on the way home from their first gig. Their only official release was a cover of Cherry-Coloured Funk by Cocteau Twins, but she released a few demos before she died.

Sssort of, if you count 'listened to two of their songs on Youtube' as familiar. What's the story?

He might've had some ups but every up was closely followed by a heavy down completely negating the up.

Michael Menson was set on fire by three men and died of the injuries, which covered almost all of his body, a fortnight later. Police did not investigate originally as they believed he'd set himself on fire.

>>73321718
The guitarist and manager actually survived the crash.

I can't remember who it was, but their was a musician who was part of a duo and did his own project whose home was targeted by a serial killer who broke in and killed him and his whole family. I hope somebody knows who I am talking about.

That was Bryan Harvey of House of Freaks. Him, his wife and his two daughters were all tied up in their basement and murdered in the Richmond spree killings.

The story of the dude from The Angelic Process was pretty sad. He got a hand injury, was unable to continue playing music, fell to depression and eventually committed suicide. The fact that The Angelic Process was just him and his girlfriend makes it all the worse.

I mean there's The Shaggs but that's just a little more disturbing then sad

>>73321711
not only was he shot in the eye, he was shot for no other reason than for the kids amusement
>>73321584 has no fuckin clue what he's talking about, if anybody has suffered the most it's him

>>73322101
will you tell me what happened?

The brief 60s art folk scene was the only good thing in his music career, after that short period it gets worse and worse and worse till it just becomes a Marquis de Sade novel without sex

Killed by a speeding motorboat in an area it shouldn't have been.
Managed to push her kids out of the way, saving them before she was struck.

>>73320140
>tfw no qt goth gf to sing Cocteau Twins covers with

>>73322101
Please elaborate

>>73322223
What's also terrible about that is that it seems likely that the person driving the boat at the time was a rich businessman who managed to get away with it by paying a boathand to take the blame saying he was the driver, who was himself able to avoid prison by paying a fine equivalent to $90, as is allowed under Mexican law for prison sentences of the length he was sentenced to.

I'm really surprised that people know of them here.

>>73322491
desu, I mostly know about them because the guy was murdered rather than the other way around

the dude from deerhunter has a serious genetic condition and could die at any point

>>73322597
Not really. Modern medicine allows for a greater lifespan and quality of life for those suffering from Marfan syndrome. He probably still won't live a full lifespan but as long as he is monitored fairly regularly and takes his meds, he'll be fine.

>>73322597
its not that serious. he just looks like shit but hes perfectly healthy

>>73319549
especially how poor and shallow his actual music was desu

their dad pulled them out of school and made them write and record songs in their basement-turned-studio bc a fortune teller told him his kids would be famous musicians. They weren't very good, and so although the lyrics are interesting, their album is fucking awful instrumentally. It's like a cult-classic 'outsider art' piece as a result.

Thom Fekete from Surfer Blood was sad.

Dude got fucked hard; developed a rare and aggressive stomach cancer, had to quit the band, a year later he was dead.

Thanks for the clear-up famalam.
Pink Floyd is so obscure no one on /mu/ knows or fetishizes over their former lead singer

Also, where do you live? I want to fuck you.
